Item Description

Pleasing pastel-pink bubbly rhodochrosite botryoids cover both sides of the sculptural matrix rib of nearly solid rhodochrosite on this showy specimen from this well-known Greek mine. Tiny calcite or aragonite spheroids and stalactites sprinkled on both sides add much character. Patches of sulfides peer out from contacts, adding contrast. A shapely and excellent two-sided rhodo from this classic locale from the W.S. Logan Rhodochrosite Collection # X52-3.
